Super Night Shot
A multi screen film in which the city becomes a film set for a fantastical mission.
Each of us is just one in a million,
easy to replace and easy to forget
in a city that doesn't really need us.
But don't worry.
We’re going to change all that.
We’ve got a plan.
This city will need us and this film will be our witness.
Where: The city streets, a theatre/cinema
Who: A hero; a casting-agent; a promoter; a location-scout; all the people on the street that night
How long: the length of a video tape (60 minutes)
What: A 4 screen video event filmed one hour before the audience arrives, Super Night Shot contains no cuts or edits and is produced with four video cameras by four performers. Starting off at base camp (the venue), all cameras are synchronised to record at the same time. Then in a military style brief, the performers declare a "War On Anonymity" before taking to the city streets on a set of magical adventures that celebrate unplanned meetings with strangers. Culminating with a beautiful Hollywood screen kiss between Hero and unsuspecting co-star, the four activists then return back to basecamp to recieve a heros welcome from the audience waiting to see the show. The videotapes are then immediately played back side by side in sych becoming united in one widescreen epos.
After its highly acclaimed premiere in Berlin, Super Night Shot was ranked in the top ten of best shows for 2003 and continues to wage its war in various cities all over the world.
